The deputy was en route to a call off River Road and was in the two-way left turn lane to turn onto 31st Ave Ct East from River Road. \u00a0The suspected DUI driver was heading the opposite direction when he claims he braked to avoid a crash with the vehicle in front of him, causing him to veer into the center turn lane where the deputy was legally standing. The airbags deployed in the deputy\u2019s vehicle. Neither driver sustained injuries, and the driver of the pick-up was arrested for suspected DUI. A PCSO Traffic Deputy handled the collision, and WSP assisted and arrested the causing driver for DUI after substantial evidence was gathered. The deputy\u2019s vehicle had to be towed and was placed out of service. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_70509\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fik5a6bPw0w?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 8th, around 5:15pm, \u00a0traffic deputies were dispatched to the 3100 block of River Rd E for a pickup truck that crashed head-on with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38640,38602,38561],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
